The room feels colder
When you look at me that way
My pulse is loud
My breath is running away
Mercy in my hands
Feels too fragile tonight
I watch the last light
Leave my eyes
Losing the fight
Cold hands teach
My tired body how to lie
I'm holding my breath
Trying not to die
Fear crawling up
Like ashen fire
You haven't won me yet
But I'm already tired
Drag me through the darkness
Pull me under the spell
Even time keeps the secrets
It won't tell
Turn the silence
Into heavy breathing
Leave me shaking
Still, and barely breathing
I'm moving without feeling
Carrying it all
Like the dark had made
Its choice for me
Before I could fall
Every breath without morning
Feels wrong
I'm starving
For one human hour
So gone
Hold me through this darkness
Keep me out of the spell
Even death stays silent
Where the last hopes fell
Turn the silence
Into broken pleading
Leave me waking
Raw, and barely breathing
Slow burning terror
Eyes locked, no escape
Make time stop
While all my faces reshape
I want to keep
One mercy under skin
Come closer
Let the final reckoning begin
Drown me in this moment
Make it dangerous and slow
Let the cold run through me
Head to toe
I'm too far unraveled
Too numb to ignite
Keep one last light alive
Until the night
Don't speak
Let it linger
I still feel
Each cold accusing finger
I am broken
I am undone
The light goes out
When all of this is done
